Keep in mind that you may not be able to install them side-by-side. For the GE Profile 27" single convection oven, the "Quick Specs" says: Note: These ovens are not approved for stackable or side-by-side installations. These ovens can be installed side-by-side with no less than 30" distance between center-to-center of each oven. However, you'll only need 3" extra b/w them to make 30". If you install them in 30" cabinets or put a cabinet b/w them, then you'll be fine. One caution...if you or your spouse is tall and you're planning to install them below the counter, you should know that it will mean a lot of bending to get into the oven...more than in the oven of a range. Under counter ovens are usually lower than the ovens in a range. I suggest you visit an appliance store or home center that has them installed below the counter to see if they are too low for you. HTH!

Thanks for your comments all! Your responses and the ones from the kitchen forum are definitely giving me pause about the side-swing. Might have to give that one up. Problem is, I can't find a good pull-down oven that I like that isn't a zillion bucks. Trying to avoid blue porcelain of any kind. Rococogurl -- the problem with switching the locations of the pantry and ovens is that I oven cook something on the stovetop and put in oven to finish off...don't want to be walking around to whole kitchen to get to the ovens. Also, would rather not place ovens directly behind where people are sitting at the island. Poppy214 -- yup landing space is not ideal for sure...but hoping it won't be too much of a stretch to make it to the island or the counter behind. Getting a Subzero side-by-side so we will have to be careful about denting with door handles. Friedajune -- the side swing is just a luxury, but I would be totally fine with a pull down door too! SJhockeyfan -- good to know your oven/fridge combo wasn't a problem : ).

Thank you Colleen (AKA. ANGEL IN DISGUISE)!!! Thank you for all the photos and the incredibly helpful info!! On Mother's Day of all days, when you should be relaxing and basking in the servanthood of your four children, you're sitting there typing away, helping a stranger out. Cpartist, and everyone else too, seriously you all have restored my faith in humanity : ). Sorry to be so dramatic but I truly appreciate you guys. Colleen, is the reason you didn't want the flush install of your ovens so that that your ovens doors would be able open all the way? Is there any other reason NOT to do a flush install? My wall is going to just out way more than yours so unfortunately can't do the right swing, and I'm seeing now that the left swing would not be a good idea either. How would you feel about a traditional pull-down double oven in your current oven location????? The counter behind my ovens will be a little over 4 ft away, so there should be some wiggle room to pull down the door and maneuver to the landing space? Also thank for the feedback on the Karbon! I agree, the aesthetics are pretty unique. Our kitchen will lean toward the modern side so it would fit in perfectly. I will have a tapmaster as well so hoping it will work well for my prep sink. Hope you're enjoying your tapmaster today! What a great Mother's day gift : ). Kim Ladin, I'm going to think seriously about that tall cabinet to make the right swing work. It would mean decreasing the cabinet length in the undercounter fridge run or decreasing the double pantry. I hope you find a good solution to your dilemma as well!

" I actually don't blame the GC. He built what was on the plans." Nope. He doesn't get off that easily. He should know better and be experienced enough to correct an architect. I've done it many times and they hate it. Here's a picture of wayyyy out-of-code winding stairs on a home I'm doing a countertop for that were built in the 90s. I can promise you the architect drew 4 risers pointing into that corner, that's what the framer framed, and amazingly, inspection passed. My customer is pregnant with her first, and the thought of a toddler taking a 29" step with no handrail in a couple years gives me the willies. Of course there is a landing and another set just like these, doubling her chances of injury. I would have told the customer I was sorry, but the bedroom door would have to be moved, because a 6" minimum tread width at the corner would require more run. Were I installing Katrina's cabinets, I would have refused until the paper pushers worked it out and backcharged for ruining my schedule. 'Cause when the red tags come flyin', everyone looks to not pay the guy who put it in wrong first, no matter who or what was drawn.
